No matter which type of special-occasion clothing you’re looking for, keep in mind that you’ll always have a better experience if you make an appointment, guaranteeing one-on-one service. (In fact, some businesses operate by appointment only.)
Whether your heart’s set on a designer label or you’re working with a tighter budget, the bridal salons and tux shops on this list have the attire and accessories that will make you and your wedding party look and feel fantastic. We’ve also included some local designers who are happy to help you bring the gown or tux you’ve envisioned to reality.
